be the attorneys of the plaintiffs in nearly
every instance. The complaints are alike
in form, and after setting forth the date,
location OF lots and term of possession OF
plaintiffs, the date OF their relocation
and mode of same by defendants, allege
that such methods of relocating and OBJ
tanning deeds from the probate judge
is irregular and illegal and invests the
plaintiffs titles with clouds that cannot
fail to be an inconvenience and incum-
brance. Wherefore,
THE PRAYER is MADE
that the court set aside the deeds so issued
and award the plaintiffs damages to
the amount of $40 and such
other relief as may be warrented
by the facts in each case. Harray

her future husband. Both must avoid
